Step one: THE FITA trés creative date lends itself to creative attire. Plus, it’s the one time it’s okay to roll into a cathedral in sneaks. Albeit, very nice, velvety, high-top sneaks from Lanvin. This evening’s attire also includes the world’s softest, yet most durable black tee courtesy of Unbound Merino under the newly-released splattered denim jacket from Palm Angels. It’s a dark, respectable and creative look, and very much appropriate for the festivities ahead.

Step two: THE FARETaco spots are a dime a dozen in this city. But even the best old-school options aren’t necessarily suited to impress. Instead, go for the new-ish Máquina, a simple, design-centric haunt home to some unusual, delicious recipes. From mole-glazed pork belly with griddled rice to Spanish octopus with peppers paired with ribeye and lobster or lamb and mint, it’s the perfect highbrow/lowbrow date-night spot. And it’s just a few blocks away from your final destination ....

Step three: THE FUNThis March 1st, for one night only, the nomadic experiential series Ambient Church is making its way to the First United Methodist Church in Pasadena. From legendary talent William Basinski, the evening — titled “On Time Out Of Time” — will wed the sounds and visuals of a spacy, downtempo electronic show with the history and ambience of a 132-old cathedral. Featuring architecturally mapped graphic projections and a special performance from Berlin-based Colombian composer Lucrecia Dalt, this is one date-night opportunity we can comfortably say you won’t encounter again any time soon. Grab your tickets posthaste.
